Great thanks. How can i apply the same using a loop statement. I tried adding for each but it still only copies the selected record

Thanks great article. I have master and details tables that I am importing to with code. The foreign key to the master in the details file is named and given a type of master table name by LS. It is Details_Master in the SQL server. How can I set this value programatically? I get the newly inserted value from the Master with this code: newMasterId = newMstEntity.Details.Properties("Id").Value But I get an error that the types don't match when I try to set the value of the details file. The PropertyType returned from the details entity is "LightSwitchApplication.Master". Code to add details: Dim newEntity As IEntityObject = entitySetToCreateIn.AddNew() currentProperty = newEntity.Details.Properties("Master") currentProperty.Value = newMasterId Thanks in advance for pointing out what I am missing!
